Without government subsidies to the wind industry,there is no wind industry.

Good news! Donald Trump just won the election yesterday and already today shares in Vestas, the world’s largest wind turbine manufacturer, were falling. As we are always saying, “Without government subsidies to the wind industry, there is no wind industry.” Sales of wind turbines depend entirely on taxpayer money to create a demand and keep […]

Wind energy is just one of the highly touted “clean” energy sources heavily promoted and subsidized by the US government. Any energy source with the label of clean, green or renewable is supposed to accomplish magical things our conventional energy sources cannot, but when it comes time to produce the energy and create those often […]

We’ve been trying to point out just how bad the collapse of wind energy really is, but some of you might think we’ve only been showing you a few cherry picked facts, so here’s something for you to consider from the American Wind Energy Association, the wind energy trade group.

That's the only reason to build them. They don't make sense without the tax credit."~ Warren Buffett - from interview with Fortune magazine

Wind investments and high cost green energy

“I’m in the wind business … I’ve lost my ass in the business. ... Hey, we can get on everything green. We can get on everything renewable. Then the cost of power will go up ten times."~ T. Boone Pickens - on Morning Joe on MSNBC
